Family releases Bodycam video of Kansas man's Fatal Shooting by Police
“The family has fought for over two years for transparency to expose the false narrative that Taylor was killed because he ran at the police with a knife,” said LaRonna Lassiter Saunders, a civil rights lawyer and an advocate for the family.
«I'm thinking that the family of Mr. Lowest will get paid in this matter and rightly so. The object in Mr. Lowery's hand when he was shot was a wrench, not a knife. The knife is plainly visible some distance from Mr. Lowery. Additionally the cops maintained the lie that Mr. Lowery charged at them, knife in hand. That plainly didn't happen. Yeah, Mr. Lowery was a dumbass for not following lawful commands, but the cops were just a wee but quick on the trigger for a guy holding a wrench.»

«Run at someone with a knife, the state ought to sue the family if they take responsibility for his estate»
